What you missed for the 24th

Ok, today we began talking about the Market Revolution and how it affected society and economy. Basically, the U.S. economy was really needing the U.S. to produce it's own goods instead of importing everything from Europe. And this created a need for industry. We talked about the first factory which created yarn. Anyway, read the reading if you want to know more. After that we went back and discussed society in the 1700's and how farmers divided their land between kids and neighboorly cooperation. It was a fun class, sorry you missed it.
